sQube® colloidal AFM probes CP-CONT-PS-B and CP-PNPL-SiO-B with soft AFM cantilevers and small colloidal particles in the range of 3.5 μm help the researchers assess the cell nuclei stiffnessThu May 15 2025
“Eukaryotic cells show an astounding ability to remodel their shape and cytoskeleton and to migrate through pores and constrictions smaller than their nuclear diameter… Our results contribute to a more comprehensive mechanistic understanding of the complex interplay between confinement, the nucleus, and the cytoskeleton during mesenchymal cell migration.”
Our colloidal AFM probes CP-CONT-PS-B and CP-PNPL-SiO-B with soft AFM cantilevers and small colloidal particles in the range of 3.5 μm help the researchers assess the cell nuclei stiffness and conclude that it can be considered as an elastic object with a Poisson ratio of approx. 0.40.

Poroelastic and viscoelastic properties of soft materials determined from AFM force relaxation and force-distance curvesMon Mar 17 2025
AFM force relaxation and force-distance curves with sQube colloidal AFM probes help study the poroelastic and viscoelastic properties of soft matter.
“The AFM-based methodology described herein provides a solid framework to draw up a complete characterization of the time-dependent mechanical properties of living matter. Due to the structural complexity of cells and tissues, understanding their energy dissipation mechanisms (related to the experimental conditions) is an essential prerequisite toward quantitative determination of their mechanical responses, by analyzing experimental data with the appropriate theoretical models.”
